RADIATOR- ATTACHMENT.

To all lwhom t may concern.' Y i Be it known that I, JOHN DEsJAnDrNs,

a citizen of the United States, residing at' Marinette. in the county ofMarinette and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Radiator Attachments, of which the following ,is aspecification. i This invention relates to radiator attachments; and ithas for its primary object the provision of means for utilizing a largepercentage of the Waste heat. Another object of the invention is theprovision of a radiator attachment which will be constructed with a viewto eiectually causing the heat to be conducted to one or a. plurality ofrooms, as the occasion may de'- mand or necessitate. f Y

A further object of the invention is the provision of an attachmento'f-this character which may be applied to the radiator withoutaffecting the primary purpose of the lradiator or a heater at.a'prescribed point. In other words, I contemplate the construction of adevice as mentioned which may be used to utilize the heat and withoutaffecting the heating eficiency of the radiator.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a heatingattachment for 80 radiators l which may be applied to any standard formof radiator and which may be connected to the room or rooms to bevheated by a suitable flue which may be ar.- ranged within the wall orwithout the wall B5 as may be found desirable.

A still further object of my invention is the provision of anyattachment made and attached in such a manner that it doesnot allow allof the surplus heated air to be con- 40 veyed through the iiue or fluesto the adjacent room or rooms, thereby causing the balance of the heatedair to force itself down and out, causing the cold air above the Hoor tobe put into a rotary circulating movee5 ment. The result of thismovement is to form a uniformity of temperature in the room inwhich theradiator is located. 1

A further, object of 4my invention'is to convey the heated air through aflume or lumes, saidl flume or flumes being neat in appearance, andcirculation of air being controlled at both ends of saidume or flumes bymeans of a damper at lower end, near radiator, andy at the other end byconnectionv with register, inbox, set -in :Hoor or partition.

l, With these and other objects in view, the

invention consists of certain novel features of construction,combination and arrangement v,of parts, as will be hereinafter describedand claimed.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a front View of the. radiator,conventionally showing the application of the heating' attachmentthereto, and-further illus- 65 trating the manner of causingthe heat tobe conducted from the radiator to the adjacent rooms; Fig. 2 is avertical longitudinal section, taken on the line 2-2 of Figzl; Fig.

3 is a perspective view of the attachment 70 `removed from the radiator;Fig. 4 is an inverted perspective View thereof; and Fig.

5 is a section' on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1.`

The attachment is preferably in the form` lof a hood 1 having a crown ortop wall 2, 75

side walls 3 and end Walls 4. The hood thus formed has a width slightlyexceeding the width of the coils of the radiator, as' shown particularlyin Figs. 2 and 5 of the drawin s, so that spaces 5 are formed be- 80tween t e sides 3 of the hood and the adjacent colls of the radiator.This arrange ment 1s such that a proper circulation of air' may be setup. m 'The hood extendsover all of.. the coils and like the sides, theends 4 are 485 spaced from the adjacent .coils of the radiator. The hoodis provided at spaced intervals with conducting tubes 6 and 6', thelatter beingextended in a horizontal direction and through the wall of-the flue 9, as shown in Fig. 2, and it is thereby arranged to open intothe adjacent lower'room B conventionally illustrated in Fig. 2. The openend of the tube 6 is provided with a pivoted'damper 10 of any suitablewell known form 95 which may be opened'whereby'the heat from theradiator may be conducted to said room B as will be understood. Theother tube 6 also extends into the wall of the iue 9, a'nd is providedwith a closed end and a vertical opening 11, the latter havingconnection with a vertical tube 12 which lextends upwardly in the flue 9and which opens into a heat distributing member 12, the latter havingbranches which extend in opposite directions so as to open respectivelyinto the rooms C and D.v These branches are partly covered by.grates-*14 and pivoted damper plates 13,' as also shown inv Fig.l 2. Thetubes 6 and 6 are provided with pivoted 1,10 dampers 15, which may be`operated so 4as to prevent the heat from being conducted to the pointsof discharge hereinbefore mentioned.

While the structure described herein is adapted to accommodate itself tothe usual rectangular radiator, it is advisable that it be understoodthat its design is immaterial From the foregoing description, taken inconnection with the accompanying draw' ings, the construction andoperation of the invention ywill be readily understood with-y outrequiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion and the minor details ofconstruction'may be resorted to without departing from the principle orsacrificing any of the advan-v tages of this invention as claimed.

l, claim As a new article of manufacture, a radiator attachmentincluding a single piece of It is also preferable that it bel sheetmetal bent to form a hood of substantially rectangular configuration,including a top, sides and end Walls, the top wall of said portionbeingr formed at spaced intervals along the longitudinal medial linethereof, with a pair of parallel spaced horizontally disposed tubes eachhaving an opening therein, one of said tubes being disposed iush withone of the end walls of said rectangular portion, while the other of thetubes being arranged flush with the opposite end Walls and eachprotruding' over JOHN DESJARDINS.
